Mud Guards

V8RM · 03-20-2015, 08:12 AM

Toying with the idea of fitting these. However, interested to know if anyone has fitted and painted them to match body colour? (no, not flesh tone

)

I had a set years ago for my 350Z colour coded and they made the car look better TBH

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Unles it's a rally car, or you're travelling back to the 1970's you shouldn't put mud flaps on imo.

Do they keep the car cleaner?? ie do the prevent the spray up the doors & on the rear?

Id be interested if it helped keep the car cleaner for longer

I recently saw an EB M135i with black mudguards and I think they suited the car

They do what they say. I find them fine. Not like 70s universal flat rubber flaps.

They certainly do help- all depending on where you live or travel. I live on a country road and they have mande a big difference on previous cars.

I'd like a set for practical reasons but just can bring myself to do it to a BM. Not seen pics on a saloon yet...

+1 yeah definitely the best shape and colour going

So Mud flaps are the car equivalent of marmite then. Look good on EBII. Discovered the guy round the corner has a 335D in AW and the black M Performance sills, look ok on his.

Found these, you get the idea... kinda like it.
